Don't waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App assurda *2025-04-21, version 3.1* Sono un amante della geografia e del World Factbook. Questa app si limita a riportare i dati di questa pubblicazione, ma lo fa solo per un numero limitato di paesi, con un’interfaccia orribile. Inoltre è dichiarata la lingua italiana, che in realtà non esiste, nemmeno nella minimale interfaccia. Non scaricatela ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-05-07* Not useful ### 1/5 — Out of date *2020-02-17, version 2.4* Data as of July 2018, needs an update ### 1/5 — What a cheat! *2019-06-12, version 2.4* The free version only gives countries A to L! With such a con I’m not disposed to buy the full version. If only you’d been honest and just offered the paid version in the first place! ### 1/5 — Crashes Instantly *2019-02-25, version 2.4* The past few recent versions crash immediately (iOS 7.1.2, iPhone 4). ### 1/5 — You want a review? Here it is! *2019-01-11, version 2.3* Boring portrait-only iPhone app that constantly harasses to upgrade. Statistics are from 2017. You can find much better info online for free and in landscape mode (readable). Deleting now! ### 1/5 — Oh Dear *2015-12-05, version 1.6* Downloaded the app,went to give it a go,and it disappear's off the screen. A slight issue !! ### 1/5 — I hate this version! *2015-11-21, version 1.6* It excludes 250+ countries. That were included with the last version. ### 1/5 — Only half the countries available? *2015-11-21, version 1.6* I've just downloaded the new version and there are no countries beyond the letter 'L'. Technical issue? ### 1/5 — This free version is probably the worst app *2015-08-01, version 1.5* I have ever downloaded giving 1 star is too generous. When o downloaded the app it said free for limited time. But it does work at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly Informative *2024-01-25, version 3.0* It’s a great app, and has certainly made a lot of research about lesser known companies easier. ### 5/5 — Good source…. *2023-09-06, version 3.0* …world facts. Used the hard copy book form before pc computers, in high school. ### 5/5 — Nice Application *2020-04-02* Good Application ### 5/5 — World fact *2019-08-01, version 2.4* Excellent application ### 5/5 — Elogio *2016-08-20* Gosto muito desse aplicativo ### 5/5 — App suddenly disappeared when opening *2016-01-13, version 1.7* It doesn't work on iso 7.1.2 version Thanks for considering my comment. ### 5/5 — great *2015-01-11, version 1.5* this app has lots of facts that i did not know ### 5/5 — concise world statd *2014-06-10, version 1.5* a quick source of basic info on d nations of the world / s simplified world almanac concerning most countries / maybe could offer an info update on annual basis ### 5/5 — Ottimo !!! *2013-12-21, version 1.5* Per un amante della geografia come me direi un'ottima applicazione che sostituisce benissimo l'atlante cartaceo. Un consiglio? Mettete la lingua italiana, Grazie. ### 5/5 — Review *2013-09-06, version 1.4* Excellent source of info --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
